Hi! I'm Melinda.  A former teen-mom gone birth advocate. 

Through support, education and self-empowerment, lovebirth creates a safe space for birthing people of all colors, young parents, and the LGBTQ+ community. lovebirth provides an environment free of stigma and shame, where every voice matters and every voice is heard. In a world where birthing people are still surrounded by shame regarding how they choose to alter their pregnancy experiences or outcomes and threats on reproductive rights, lovebirth strongly believes that every 'birth' story matters regardless of how it unfolds. Every birthing person, at any age, need to be supported.

A portion of all lovebirth services purchased will support a teen-parent through Project Teenbirth, Inc. - a community outreach program structured around teen maternal public health issues and reproductive rights - specializing in teen pregnancy and young parent support. Through holistic education, Project Teenbirth focuses on empowering pregnant teens and young parents. 

I am woman. I am strong.
